SOLUTION OF TRIANGLE

GENERAL NOTATION :

1.

In a triangle ABC angles at vertices are usually denoted by A, B, C

sides opposite to these vertices are denoted by a, b, c respectively.

2.

Circumradius is denoted by R

3.

Inradius is denoted by r.

4.

Ex-radii are denoted by r1, r2 , r3 opposite to vertices A, B, C respectively..

5.

2s = a + b + c
2s 2c = a + b c
a + b c = 2(s c)
a + c b = 2(s b)
